Abstract
Restrictive standing rules, adverse litigation costs, and proof of causation are major barriers to access to courts for Environmental Public-Interest Litigation (EPIL). A doctrinal and comparative examination of the relevant laws in Ethiopia reveals that these issues have not been sufficiently and unequivocally addressed. Primarily, there are controversies pertaining to standing, contestable actions, and potential defendants in environmental litigation. The rules related to the proof of causation and litigation costs are also not favourable for effective EPIL. In contrast, China has made significant strides in addressing these barriers by introducing different types of EPIL and bestowing the standing to initiate EPIL upon various actors, including social organizations, administrative organs, and procuratorial organs. Furthermore, Chinese laws allow for the deferment, reduction, or elimination of litigation costs in environmental matters. In addition, several laws in China shift the burden of proof in environmental matters to the defendants. Several stakeholders, including the judiciary, legislature, local governments, and non-governmental organizations, have played a significant role in the evolution of these legislative laws. Hence, following China’s approach to addressing the barriers to effective EPIL, Ethiopia must adopt laws that bestow the right to initiate EPIL upon a broad array of actors, relax the standing requirements unequivocally, and clearly outline the possible contestable actions and defendants. Ethiopia should introduce special treatment for EPIL, including reduced initial lawsuit payments and protection from adverse costs. A reverse burden of proof in EPIL cases should also be introduced to enhance citizen participation in environmental law enforcement.]]>2026-04-15T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/cjcl2026-04-15T00:00:00+00:00The Chinese Journal of Comparative Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2026-04-11:/285072Why Veil Piercing Differs: Reassessing Judicial Trends under China’s New Company LawAbstractChina is often characterized as an outlier in veil piercing, with courts perceived as being ...]]>
Abstract
China is often characterized as an outlier in veil piercing, with courts perceived as being more willing than their common law counterparts to disregard corporate personality. This article reassesses that claim by examining the newly codified recognition of horizontal veil piercing among sibling companies under common control. Article 23(2) of the 2023 Company Law provides an express statutory basis for intra-group liability where corporate personality is abused to evade debts and seriously harm creditors. Drawing on an empirical study of published judgments involving sibling-company claims decided before and after the reform entered into force, and supported by doctrinal and comparative analysis, the article finds that codification has not narrowed judicial intervention. On the contrary, post-reform decisions display a higher piercing rate and a greater willingness to extend liability where documentary evidence of cross-company commingling is established. Judicial reasoning has become more standardized and increasingly formalistic, with courts in some cases applying a lower evidential threshold once key indicia of commingling are established. From a comparative perspective, these findings challenge the assumption that statutory clarification necessarily constrains a doctrine framed as exceptional in common law systems. The article argues that codification may instead facilitate more routine application when it aligns with adjudicative incentives and broader policy priorities. It concludes by proposing doctrinal and evidential benchmarks to better balance creditor protection with limited liability and entity shielding in corporate groups.]]>2026-04-11T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/cjcl2026-04-11T00:00:00+00:00The Chinese Journal of Comparative Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2026-04-11:/285053In their own voices: an examination of substantive justice on satisfaction with the police.]]>. ]]>2026-04-10T02:11:23+00:00Liqun Cao Xiaohan Mei a Faculty of Social Science and Humanities, Ontario Tech University, Oshawa, ON, Canadab School of Criminal Justice & Criminalistics, California State University, Los Angeles, CA, USALiqun Cao, Ph.D. (1993), is Professor ofhttp://www.tandfonline.com/loi/rcac20?af=R2026-04-10T02:11:23+00:00International Journal of Comparative and Applied Criminal Justicetag:vifa-recht.de,2026-04-03:/284524The Board Monitoring Function: Artificial Intelligence in the Era of Heightened AccountabilityAbstractThis article examines how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the board of directors’ ...]]>
Abstract
This article examines how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the board of directors’ monitoring function in an era of heightened corporate accountability. Modern corporate governance has long assumed that boards of large, complex corporations primarily serve as monitors of managerial decision-making. Yet, persistent institutional failures, limited director time, inadequate and asymmetric information, and constraints in board composition continue to undermine effective oversight, contributing to significant compliance and ethical lapses. At the same time, escalating regulatory obligations, particularly in areas such as climate-related risk and sustainability reporting, intensify pressure on boards to obtain timely, accurate, and comprehensive information. AI presents both a potential remedy and a profound challenge to this governance landscape. AI systems promise efficiency gains, enhanced data analysis, and the capacity to augment board expertise, thereby mitigating traditional constraints. However, their use also creates new risks relating to opacity, bias, and diminished human vigilance, amplified by cognitive-miser behaviour and automation bias. Current corporate law frameworks were developed for human decision-makers and provide limited guidance on accountability when directors rely on AI-generated insights or when AI systems drive core corporate functions. Existing defences, such as reliance, delegation, or business-judgment safe harbours, offer little protection where decisions stem from opaque or inadequately supervised AI processes. The article argues that effective integration of AI into corporate governance requires an explicit, legally grounded ‘human-in-the-loop’ approach. It proposes reforms that mandate human oversight of AI-facilitated decisions, ensure transparency through auditability and disclosure of AI use, and assign responsibility to individuals with appropriate AI-related expertise: the ‘right human in the loop’. External audits and regulatory supervision should complement internal governance mechanisms to prevent erosion of accountability. As AI increasingly permeates corporate decision-making, governance frameworks must evolve to preserve responsibility, transparency, and trust in the board’s monitoring role.]]>2026-04-03T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/cjcl2026-04-03T00:00:00+00:00The Chinese Journal of Comparative Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2026-04-03:/284525Mutual Learning among Civilizations and Overburdened ‘Sociability’: A Review of Morality and Responsibility of Rulers: European and Chinese Origins of a Rule of Law as Justice for World OrderAbstractMorality and Responsibility of Rulers: European and Chinese Origins of a Rule of Law as Just...]]>
Abstract
Morality and Responsibility of Rulers: European and Chinese Origins of a Rule of Law as Justice for World Order is a jointly compiled work by two European scholars. It reaffirms the significance of the idea of natural justice proposed by thinkers in ancient, medieval, and early modern Europe. In the sense of being anti-Hobbesian, it attempts to form a certain united front between ancient Chinese thought and European ideas of natural justice. This book not only re-examines and reflects on the theoretical foundation of international law but also represents an intellectual practice in the exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. However, in addition to presenting various theoretical resources in history that expound on the natural sociability of human beings, the editors may enhance the comprehensiveness and depth of their work by conducting necessary analysis and explanation of the historical limitations of these theoretical resources themselves, pointing out that the proposition of natural sociability does not necessarily imply an international order of equality, freedom, and the rule of law but may also be used to establish exclusion, domination, and exploitation.]]>2026-04-03T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/cjcl2026-04-03T00:00:00+00:00The Chinese Journal of Comparative Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2026-04-03:/284526Dealing with Pandemics: The Role of Express Contractual TermsAbstractUnexpected events, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, can have a dramatic impact on the ability ...]]>
Abstract
Unexpected events, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, can have a dramatic impact on the ability of contracting parties to perform their contractual obligations and can create real hardship for contracting parties by substantially increasing the cost of contractual performance. In such circumstances contracting parties may look to the applicable law for relief. An alternative approach, and the one explored in this paper, is for contracting parties to make their own provision in the contract for the occurrence of such events. It is, however, no easy task to draft such clauses. These clauses take different forms, such as a force majeure clause, a hardship clause or a material adverse change clause, and they have different potential remedial consequences. One of the central questions for contracting parties is whether they should attempt to make provision in one of these forms for the impact of events which, by definition, have not occurred at the time of entry into the contract or whether they should leave it to national courts, particularly in those jurisdictions where a legal doctrine of hardship is being developed, to resolve the difficulties that have arisen and when the courts can use the benefit of hindsight to develop a solution which is appropriate for the events which have in fact occurred. This question does not admit of a single answer which will be suitable for all contracts but parties seem more likely to wish to make their own provision for the occurrence of such events where the contract is of high-value, entered into over a long term and drafted with some sophistication with the benefit of professional legal advice.]]>2026-04-03T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/cjcl2026-04-03T00:00:00+00:00The Chinese Journal of Comparative Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2026-04-01:/284310The eyes and ears of the community: an examination of a Canadian volunteer police program.]]>. ]]>2026-04-01T03:34:42+00:00Dallas Bouckley Madison Charman Christopher O’Connor Faculty of Social Science and Humanities, Ontario Tech University, Oshawa, Ontario, CanadaDallas Bouckley holds a doctorate in Criminology and Social Justice from Ontario Tech University.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the rigidity of will-making laws requiring in-person witnessing. Jurisdictions responded differently: some introduced temporary measures, others implemented permanent reforms allowing remote witnessing. This article compares responses in England and Wales, selected Australian states, Singapore, and Hong Kong SAR, tracing developments toward potential recognition of electronic wills. The central argument is that law reform should balance accessibility with safeguards against fraud and undue influence, avoiding overly burdensome formalities that deter compliance. The article concludes by examining how national digital identity systems could be used for the execution of electronic wills.]]>2026-03-24T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/cjcl2026-03-24T00:00:00+00:00The Chinese Journal of Comparative Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2026-03-23:/283441Shifting sovereignties: a global history of a concept in practice; Sovereignty: European and global histories, 1400-1800.]]>. ]]>2026-03-23T05:49:17+00:00James J.

Abstract
This article examines how case law from the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union influences judicial decision-making in Kenya, Ghana, and Nigeria. Although no direct jurisdictional or institutional links exist, domestic courts in these African jurisdictions refer to European jurisprudence in their rulings. The study, based on decisions from appellate and supreme courts between 2010 and 2023, distinguishes between situations where European case law is conclusive in resolving a dispute or legal issue and those where it serves as comparative material. It also identifies recurring motivations for these references, including the persuasive authority of European rulings, gaps in domestic law, the shared features of democratic legal systems, and the reconstruction of domestic legal concepts. It also briefly flags factors not explicit in the judgments’ reasoning that may facilitate such references. The findings reveal a broader trend of judicial dialogue and convergence in legal reasoning across continents. The article argues that European jurisprudence provides African courts with normative guidance and conceptual tools that support constitutional interpretation and legal development. By highlighting this transnational exchange, the study contributes to comparative law scholarship and demonstrates the importance of cross-continental judicial reference for the evolution of legal systems.]]>2026-03-06T00:00:00+00:00http://academic.oup.com/cjcl2026-03-06T00:00:00+00:00The Chinese Journal of Comparative Lawtag:vifa-recht.de,2026-02-25:/280894The 2025 International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion on Obligations of States in Respect of Climate Change 74 Int'l & Comp.
